FARMINGToN, March 4.-Rufus Brett.
Esq, a prominent citizen of Pennington,
died Sunday afternoon, after lingering i'll
ness. He was descendant in double line,
from John.Alden, first of the Pilgrims, it is
claimed, to set foot on Plymouth Rock in
1920 The more direct line is traced through
John Alden's son Isaac, whose daughter
Sarah married, in 1712, Seth Brett; their son
Simeon was the father of Rufus Brett The
other line comes through Ruth, daughter of
John Bass, whose great-great-grandchild
was Susannah Cary. The deceased was the
fourth child of Ezra Brett, a son of the above
mentioned Rufus Brett and his wife Susan
nah Cary Brett.
The most of Mr.. Bretts life was passed in
North Franklin county. where he was early
identified with the free soil party, and was a
member OF the famous convention at Strong
which formed the Republican party. He
held many offices of public trust and respon-
sibility. Several children survive him.
Among them the wife of Lucien N. Pres
colt, formerly editor of the Pennington
Chronicle, now an official in the Treasury
Department at Washington.
